Any recommendations on a laptop and TV combination?

Dads House

I need to upgrade my laptop to something that can handle processing videos better. On the side, also has a decent stereo sound without the need for external speakers. I live in a nursing home, so the total table space to work on is 18" X 32", so no room even for a mouse. I also want to get an LED TV to which I can wirelessly link to the laptop for using it also as a computer screen. It should be in the range of 36". I cannot run an HDML cable as the TV mounts along the ceiling on the opposite side of thr room. I live in a nuring home.

Dell has many wireless display laptops for sale. I would check their website and see what is in your price range. As far as I'm aware their entire XPS line has wireless display capabilities. This is a pricey operation that you're looking to perform. You have to buy the laptop, TV, and wireless transmitter/receiver. It could run you close to 2000 dollars. If you're interested in watching TV from the internet, and already have a computer that works just fine, I'd suggest looking into a TV + Internet TV Box.

Apple TV
Boxee
Sony's Google/Android Box
Roku
and many others.

I'm sorry I don't have too many details, this is a tough question to answer when I don't know your budget, or your most common activities using these devices.

As for TV's, I would look for an LED TV that is on sale and has good reviews from customers who purchased it at the venue you'd also be purchasing it. A quick google search of "what to look for in an LED TV" may also help you out. I'm no TV expert, I don't even own one, I use a computer monitor instead.

Best of luck :)

Can I hang a LED TV on a wall mount above a floor heating vent?

Kevin

I want to hang a TV in my room, but it seems like the only available spot is above a heating vent that is on the floor. I want to hang the TV about 5-6 feet above the vent. Will that cause any problems to the TV? I believe it is a 26 inch Vizio LED.

Answer
At the height of 5 to 6 feet above the floor you should be fine. The vent is not constantly blowing and the room ambient temperature should be close to the temp coming from the vent (with in 5 deg).

If you find think it may cause problems you can mount a glass shelf about 6 inches under the TV to deflect the airflow from the register, and provides a place to place small what nots.

You can always place a vent deflector on the vent also.

Answer
I am not aware of any way to use wireless to transmit video and audio signal from a PC or laptop to an HDTV for use as a PC monitor.
Cable connection is the only way (HDMI, etc).

For laptop specs I recommend:

CPU: 3rd generation Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5 or i7
RAM: 8GB DDR3
Graphics: Dedicated (card), at least a GeForce GT640M or better
Price range: $600 to over $1,000
